Set among vineyards and forests in a quiet, unhurried corner of the Var, this historic stone mas of approximately 500 m2 sits on over a hectare of grounds planted with olive and fruit trees. Facing due south, it has been carefully restored with a genuine feel for traditional materials – stone, wood, travertine – and the result is a house with real character rather than merely renovated bones. The ground floor is built for generous living. A handsome entrance leads into a substantial dining room with its own wine cellar, a beautifully appointed sitting room centred on an original fireplace, and a remarkable kitchen – the heart of the house – with a travertine central island, bespoke wooden cabinetry, a cut-stone sink and a serious range cooker. An original ironwork veranda, a back kitchen and a large workshop opening onto a shaded terrace complete the level. Upstairs, the accommodation is spread across two wings. The main wing offers a spacious bedroom, a shower room, and a master suite with bathroom and dressing room, as well as a sitting room and an office lined with beautiful wooden bookshelves. The second wing provides an additional bedroom and a fully independent apartment with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room – ideal for guests, extended family or rental. Outside, a stone swimming pool and pool house, a kitchen garden and direct access to riverside walks make the most of the setting. Despite the rural calm, the motorway is quickly accessible; the coast and Hyères airport are around 45 minutes away, and Aix-en-Provence around 50.

Located just a short drive from the historic town of Albi, this exceptional estate offers a rare combination of character, privacy, and versatility. Set within over 7 hectares of private land and accessed via a long, tree-lined driveway, the property comprises four separate houses, including a beautifully presented five-bedroom manor house, a fully renovated three-bedroom guest house, and two further properties offering exciting renovation potential. The main manor house is filled with charm and character, featuring a grand entrance hall that leads to a spacious living room, formal dining room, breakfast room, and kitchen. On the opposite side of the hallway, you'll find a ground floor bedroom suite with a dressing room and private bathroom, along with a separate office. Nearly every room, aside from the kitchen which has its own access to the garden, opens onto a magnificent full-length terrace that overlooks the grounds, offering an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. Upstairs are four further bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a generous room currently used as a library, which could easily be converted into an additional bedroom if needed. The house also benefits from a vast basement that spans the entire footprint of the building, offering ample storage or garage space for multiple vehicles. A swimming pool is set to the side of the house, enjoying a sunny, sheltered position. The second house, which has recently been renovated, offers comfortable and contemporary single-level living with three bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a family bathroom, and a light-filled living and dining area. It also boasts double glazing, insulation, and its own private terrace and garden with lovely views across neighbouring vineyards. The third property, which includes an attached barn, already offers a basic level of accommodation with a living area and several bedrooms but would benefit from finishing work to bring it up to modern standards. The fourth house is a blank canvas, requiring complete renovation but offering excellent potential for expansion or additional guest accommodation (subject to the relevant permissions). Each of the four houses is positioned to enjoy privacy and independence, with no direct overlooking, making the estate ideally suited to a variety of uses. Whether as a spacious family home with room for guests, a multi-generational living solution, or a hospitality business such as gîtes, bed and breakfast, retreats, or events, this property offers exceptional flexibility (pending the required authorisations). The location is equally appealing, with a village offering all local amenities just five minutes away and the city of Albi only a little further. The nearby autoroute provides quick and easy access to Toulouse and its international airport in under an hour. This is a unique opportunity to acquire an expansive and character-filled estate in a prime location, with endless possibilities for private or commercial use.

Currently operated as a cattle farm and equipped with equestrian facilities, this property offers strong potential for a value-added agricultural or recreational project. Any buyer wishing to maintain or expand these activities must comply with the necessary administrative procedures, including obtaining the appropriate permits and commercial registration.

It offers over 210 m2 of living space, with the potential to double the surface by converting the adjoining barn, subject to the necessary permits. The renovated farmhouse includes, on the ground floor, two reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, and a shower room. The first floor offers another large living room, two additional bedrooms, and a bathroom.
